Despite the value of operations at local post offices, many of these operations have been moved to service points in retail shops. These smaller counters are flexible and easily adaptable, providing a wide variety of services; making postal operations efficient and productive again.
The move from post offices to retail shop locations lead to an increasing demand for smaller, more appropriate and flexible systems for data capturing. The staff at the retail counters needs to be able to provide detailed processing data to customers. The adoption of barcode based solutions enforces the efficiency and productivity in process automation. Identifying tracking numbers of mail pieces at the postal office counter provides track & trace information for both the transporters and the receiver.
Versatile enterprise activities such as stock inventories, pricing and financial transaction reports can be arranged electronically. Eliminating manual processes by scanning barcodes works more efficient and saves time.
Opticon provides barcode scanning solutions with a low cost of ownership and a fast return on investment that allow staff to identify transactions from the postal counter to the customer. In order to fit the scanners into the Point of Sale area Opticon has designed a wide range of compact products, which are lightweight and easy-in-use, adjusted to the counter environment.
